TOPIC: I need a Keyway?? for Johnson 45 late 1960's model

I was told it is called a keyway. I little metal piece that wedges the flywheel to the shaft, in getting the flywheel off it must have flipped into my gravel driveway. I'm new to all this.
can I buy one at a parts store ??? any suggestions???

thanks

The part you need is called the Flywheel Key. You can look up parts for your motor here, just plug in the model number:

I know nothing about boats or boating. But what usually happens with things ,
now that I bought a new one I will find the original one in the gravel driveway at some point when i least expect it. lol

Yes, it's amazing how those danged engine parts jump right into the gravel, never to be seen again!

I finally got a concrete driveway poured where I do my boat/motor work, and I found all manner of missing bits and pieces when I was prepping for the pour.

"So THAT'S where it went !!?"
